Part 2
But the dreads aren’t the point. The point is what Monia allegedly did with them. “They say I’m using them. Put them in the dirt and blood in the food. All type of blood in the food. Yes. So I can blood in the food so I can keep them. Voodoo. All types of voodoo. Maury. Like voodoo like like here you go. Here you go.” Kiki is describing a love spell. A manipulation. A woman so desperate to keep a man that she’d bury his hair and feed him blood. It’s the kind of accusation that sounds insane until you remember this is the Maury Show, where insanity is the baseline.
Monia doesn’t deny cutting the dreads. She says Rayan wanted it. She says he wanted to look like a man. But the voodoo charge—that’s Kiki’s evidence of manipulation. It’s not just that Monia is a cheater. It’s that she’s a witch. It’s that she used dark magic to trap Rayan. It’s that the relationship itself is illegitimate, built on spells and blood and dirt. And if the relationship is illegitimate, then the baby is too.
The audience eats it up. They boo. They cheer. They gasp. It’s theater, but it’s also a real family being torn apart in real time. Monia and Kiki used to be best friends. Now they’re enemies. And Rayan—the man they both claim to love—is waiting in the wings, about to walk out and face the woman he’s been with for four years and the sister who says it’s all a lie.
Maury asks Monia about the pregnancy. “You find out you’re pregnant. You tell Rayan and what’s going on?” Monia smiles. “Oh, we It was exciting. Like it was excitement because we basically was planning Rayana. We basically planned her. It’s just like once the family got involved, that’s when everything started going down.” Planned. That’s the word she uses. This wasn’t an accident. This wasn’t a trap. This was a choice they made together. And then the family got involved.
The family. Specifically, Kiki. And the hospital incident. Maury brings it up: “One of the reasons the family got upset was at the hospital when you gave birth. They wanted you to name the baby after him.” Monia shrugs. “I mean, yeah, but she is still named after him. They wanted you to name it Rayo, right? I don’t care about it’s like why would you get mad over a name like this? How little minded these people they mind.”
A name. A dread cut. A $50 loan. These are the small things that become huge when a family decides you’re not one of them. Monia says Rayan is a good father. She says he loves Rayana. She says they’re back together after a six-month breakup. But Kiki says none of it matters. Because Rayana isn’t Rayan’s. Because Monia is a liar. Because the DNA test will prove it.
The segment ends with Kiki walking out to a chorus of boos and cheers. She sits down. She doesn’t smile. She says, “That’s not my baby. No, you know, go f your baby daddy. Go f your baby daddy.” Monia fires back. The audience erupts. Maury tries to keep order. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a three-year-old girl named Rayana is waiting for a man to walk out and claim her.
That’s the setup. Two women who once were best friends. A $50 question that ended everything. A voodoo accusation that sounds like a horror movie. And a DNA test that will decide whether Rayan is a father or a stranger. The Maury Show has been doing this since 1991, and it’s seen it all—the tears, the fights, the paternity reveals that send grown men running offstage. But this one feels different. Because Rayan isn’t running. He’s waiting. And Kiki isn’t backing down. She’s doubling down.
The $50 is long gone. But the refusal? That’s still here. It’s in every word Kiki says. It’s in every tear Monia cries. It’s in the DNA test that’s about to change everything. And when Rayan walks out, we’ll finally see what a four-year relationship and a three-year-old daughter are worth. Not $50. Something much bigger. Something that can’t be buried in dirt or fed in blood. Something that only science can settle.
Stay tuned. Because the Maury Show is just getting started. And the next part? That’s where the dreads come off and the truth comes out.
Voodoo, Dreads, and the War Over Rayan
The studio lights are still hot when Kiki walks out. She doesn't sit. She doesn't smile. She points at Monia like she's identifying a body in a lineup and says the line that will be clipped, captioned, and replayed a million times: "That's not my baby. Go f--- your baby daddy."
Monia doesn't flinch. She's been waiting four years for this. Four years of Rayan. Four years of Rayana. Four years of Kiki. And now the sister is standing on national television, calling her a hoe, calling her daughter a lie, calling her whole life a scam. The audience gasps. The host — Marvin — tries to keep order. But you can't keep order in a room where two women have decided that only one of them gets to walk out with a family.
This is the part of the story where the DNA test stops being about science and starts being about war.
